Makes 4 servings

1 cup fresh pumpkin or heirloom pumpkin, cooked

½ cup white onion, julienned

2 tablespoons butter

1 quart water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 dash cinnamon

1 dash cayenne

½ cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Split the pumpkins in half and de-seed. Place the pumpkins on a rack on a sheet pan and roast skin-side up for 45 to 60 minutes, until pumpkin is soft.

2. Remove the skins and discard. Roughly chop the pumpkin to create 1 cup.

3. Sauté the onion in the butter until transparent. Add the remaining ingredients and the pumpkin and cook for 1 hour on a low simmer. Remove from the heat and puree until smooth. Serve.
